Maynard, 33, has not competed since June 22, when he took a split
decision from Clay Guida at
UFC on FX 4. The former two-time title challenger was then expected
to face Joe Lauzon
this past December but saw his return to the cage derailed by
injury.

Grant is currently enjoying arguably the finest stretch of his
six-year career, as the Canadian rides a four-fight Octagon winning
streak into his clash with Maynard. Most recently, the 28-year-old
ran through Matt Wiman,
stopping “Handsome” with a violent flurry of punches and elbows
last month at UFC on Fox 6.

Trujillo, 29, has won five straight fights heading into his
showdown with Nurmagomedov. “Killa” made a successful Octagon debut
on Dec. 8, finishing Marcus
LeVesseur with knees to the body at UFC on Fox 5.

Just 24 years old, Nurmagomedov has never before tasted defeat as a
mixed martial artist. “The Eagle” has posted three straight wins
since joining the UFC last year, topping Kamal
Shalorus and Gleison
Tibau before finishing Thiago
Tavares last month at UFC on FX 7.
